Wests Tigers captain Robbie Farah says he and chief executive Grant Mayer have agreed to work through their differences for the sake of the NRL club.

Farah, in an interview aired on the Nine network’s NRL Footy Show on Thursday night, took aim at Mayer for what he said was a lack of support during the crisis that has engulfed the club since claims the skipper wanted coach Mick Potter out of the club.

“I didn’t question his leadership, I just said I was disappointed,” Farah told media on Friday morning.

“The interview was done on Tuesday, he spoke to me on Wednesday – so we have spoken briefly at training.

“We’re both professionals. We both want what’s best for this club.

“He’s the CEO, I’m the captain, and we’ll get on with our jobs. So we’ll deal with that in private, there won’t be an issue. We’ll get on with it.”

In the interview Farah admitted he considered walking away from the Wests Tigers after being painted as the architect of a move to oust coach Mick Potter, but has pledged to see out the remaining three seasons of his contract with the NRL joint venture.

Farah criticised Mayer for what he said was a lack of since Gorden Tallis aired claims on radio two weeks ago that Farah wanted Potter to go.

Farah confirmed he had sought counselling after taking stress leave from training last week. But the NSW hooker said he was committed to his future at the Tigers amid reports he had considered seeking a release from the club.

“At times, I thought is this all worth it?” Farah said. “I even messaged Mick, saying I’m not sure I’m in a position to captain the club.

“But I’m out of that now. There’s no doubt about that. I love this club. I’m in it to the death. I’ll give my all for the club ... I’m not going anywhere.”

Farah said he had fallen out with Tigers management after Mayer declined to publicly support him on his role in deciding the future of Potter, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

“I haven’t heard from our CEO since the Sunday night after the Dragons game [on 27 July],” he said in the interview.

“I spoke to him after Gorden’s comments on the Friday night and asking him to come out on the Saturday and strongly support the players, because we were getting dragged into it ...

“That’s the biggest problem with our club: there are people at the top leaking stuff to the media ... I’m not sure why.

“Whether it is for their own interests or those Balmain or Wests factions fighting against each other.

“It doesn’t help when it’s leaked, whether it’s true or not.”

Farah said he regretted confiding in Tallis 15 months ago that Potter was struggling, but insisted his views were no secret from Potter.

“Looking back, I shouldn’t have said to Gordie what I said. The club was struggling, the coach was struggling, but I thought it was a private conversation.

“I can assure you and everyone else, whatever I conveyed to Gordie at the time, I also conveyed it to Mick.

“Me and Mick have an open and honest relationship. I’m always giving him feedback on how to improve.

“He’s always giving me feedback on what he needs from me and how I can improve as a captain.
